Jan, these carrots were delightful! I made them exactly as directed as per your instructions and they came out perfectly. I served them with Miss Annie's Crockpot Chicken and Herb Dumplings, Strawberry Coconut Muffins and they proved to be the perfect side dish. Thank you so much for posting a this recipe! I am always looking for a new way to prepare carrots, and you have delivered just that!

If you want to try something a little different try this delicious carrot recipe. The smell is indeed wonderful, but the flavour is awesome!

This is a really wonderful way to do carrots. They almost caramelize on the bottom while cooking. The only change I would make in future is to leave the carrots in fairly large chunks, as the longer cooking time makes them quite soft, and I would use a little less oil in the initial part of the cooking. Other than that, they are a must try. Thank you for posting.

Oven roasted carrots, flavored with sesame oil and topped with toasted sesame seeds. An enchanting flavor combination that is so easy to make. DH cooked them in a foil pan on a covered barbeque gas grill. Well Jan, I guess I will have to elevate you from my "lamb guru" to my "lamb and carrot guru". Great recipe!

I was looking for something to do with carrots, one of the few vegetables my dh likes! This recipe went waaayyyy beyond ordinary, and is of restaurant quality in my opinion. This motivates me to look at other Zaar recipes for vegetables! Thanks Jan for a super technique and preperation!!!

I hate carrots. Usually I can only choke them down if they are coated in ranch dressing. But this recipe was great and I even ate the leftovers the following day at lunch! I may be a convert.

What a wonderful recipe for carrots! My family often neglects carrots as a sidedish, but these will become a regular at our house. I left the carrots in larger pieces and the texture was perfect! Thanks a lot.

Yummy! We really enjoyed these carrots this evening. A little too much oil for us in the initial preparation, so next time I will cut down a little. Your instructions turned out perfectly cooked carrots — and so very flavorful. Thanks, Jan!

Instead of baking the carrots, I opted for the short cut method and zapped it in the microwave (sprinkle some water, cover, medium-high, 5 min) till soft. It probably doesn't taste as good, but I love it anyway. Plus it makes it extremely simple on the washing up. I left out the regular oil to cut down on the fat, but kept the sesame oil because it really made this very simple dish a winner. Now I'm more than happy to eat more carrots(I'm not usually a fan of them)!
